How to modify the initial position/orientation of the model from MATLAB/Simulink?

ryuki

Hello
​
I am using Adams-MATLAB/Simulink co-simulation in order to design the controller for a robot.
And I want to change the initial position/orientation of the parts of the robot model from Simulink to find the best initial position/orientation for the robot control.​
 
Is it possible? and how can I do?
Or, do I need to change the model configuration manually everytime?
 
Thank you

    Well the GCON expression is the "constraint" that solver tries to get to zero.
    If there is a function that involves markers like DX(i,j), it'll keep the distance to zero.
    If you use DX(i,j)-200,it'll keep the distance to 200.
    If you use an expression that is always zero and independent from markers, than there's "nothing to control" and the GCON will be removed from the system equations.
